Overview
This Project Manager opportunity sits within a Government programme environment supporting delivery of priority initiatives with a strong local government focus. The successful individual will oversee planning, governance, stakeholder engagement, risk management and delivery assurance across complex projects operating at pace.

Top Three Attributes
1. Demonstrable delivery of complex projects or programmes. 2. Strong RAID and governance management. 3. Ability to work autonomously, prioritise effectively and adapt to change.
